    I am gathering some information about parking charges and would like to know what is the most anyone here has ever been charged for parking in Dublin and its environs?

    Even if it was somewhere else post it up also!

    The underground carpark at Smithfield is pretty expensive.

    That's fairly steep alright. I didn't think the RCSI Carpark beside it was more than €3.

    After your 5th hour in Pavillions, Swords, it jumps to €7.50/hr to discourage people parking there to work, I presume. http://www.pavilions.ie/your-visit/parking/

    Ilac was about €4 or €5 a while back.

    Theres a place beside the Ulster Bank HQ on George's Quay that did all day parking for €30 and had a "special offer" of 5 days parking for €100. That used to make me laugh.

    Prices for car parks available here, though I'm not sure how up to date they are

    RCSI is €3.60 per hour :eek:. That's mental, I recall when it was €2.70 only a year or two ago. Don't know how the carparks can justify those sorts of hikes.

    I though grand canal square was expensive at €3 p/h. Never imagined somewhere charging more. I nearly choocked when I realised the price.

    Lidl in Deansgrange is €5 an hour, but if you spend a certain amount its free. It to discourage people not shopping there not to park there though.

    Never forget the age-old adage: Let the market decide.
